Abstract
AbstractChiral Pb(Sn)‐I hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites exhibit outstanding chiral‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) performance, but the nontoxic lead‐free hybrid materials with high stability are still greatly desired for spin filtering in spintronic applications. We synthesize chiral hybrid copper halides (R/S‐MBA)2CuX4 (MBA=methylbenzylammonium; X=Cl, Br) with characteristic 0D CuX4 tetrahedral structural motifs, combining the low toxicity of Cu2+ and air stability of halide ions (Cl− and Br−). Despite similar structural and electronic features, (R/S‐MBA)2CuBr4 shows much smaller chiroptical activity than the chloride counterpart. Magnetically conductive atomic force microscopy measurements display a typical spin‐polarized charge‐transport property with high efficiency up to 90 % for both copper halides. Our work expands the CISS effect into eco‐friendly and stable metal–organic halides, which is promising for applications in spintronics based on transition‐metal hybrid systems.
